From Dr Atkins New Diet Cookbook - published in UK so USA equivalents added in brackets

Aubergine Parmigiana

1 large aubergine (eggplant) cut into 1 cm (1/2") slices
60 mls (4 T) olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
450 g (1 lb) minced (ground) steak
250 mls (about 1 cup) prepared tomato sauce or passata
(I use chopped tomatoes for this - you could use canned)
250 mls (about 1 cup) water
1 teaspoon oregano
50 grams (2 ounces) parmesan cheese, grated
450 grams (1 lb) mozarella cheese, sliced

Preheat oven to 180 C (350 F)
Soak aubergine slices in salted water for 1 hour. Dry with kitchen paper.
Heat half the oil in a frying pan and lightly brown chopped onion, add garlic and sautéé for another minute. Add minced steak, stirr and cook till it turns brown. Ad tomato sauce and water, simmer for 15 minutes.
Place remaining oil in a separate large frying pan over medium heat and sautéé a few aubergine slices at a time until each side is golden brown - add more oil if needed.
Oil a baking dish and arrange half of the aubergine slices on the bottom. Cover with half of the tomato/meat mixture. Sprinkle with half of the parmesan cheese and half of the mozarella. Repeat these layers.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes till golden brown
